PK

[MLK BLVD]

Character's name & rank:  Kristaps Muller Character Unteroffizier

SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX): MLK BLVD

Staff member who issued the PK (if you know): Layheeee

Explain why you were PK'd: I was logging on at casino and a OOC question. I then asked a KriegsBrigade what was happening in the server. Then He told me he was going to arrest me after his NCO came by not answering the question. So I had thought they were just failrping or arresting me unruly since its been happeing alot recently.

Why should you be un-PK'd?: I have spent many hours and got friends to join this server and give it a try. I also try to be respectful to everyone new and old. I only intended to RP and only go OOC few times as possible. I also have only one character and never hoped to fail rp especially since I put effort in any RP in this server.

Additional Information: 

I was trying to ask a OOC question to a person then they had try to arrest me. I had only logged on a few seconds down at the casino and was genuinely curious what was happening OOC. I thought they were gonna arrest me for no reason so I had bought out my gun when they did it first. I didn't mean to start a fight and only ask a OOC question because I was not in the ICC base. I did not know they were trying to RP at first because previous incidents of just random arrests and shooting at random people happens. I only intend to RP and never broke a fail RP despite being on this server for 2 weeks and this was my first GMOD server. I did not mean to Fail RP and will just go with the flow with the next time  whenever this happens even asking a OOC question. I have also only spent all my time into this one character for past 2 weeks and have never broke a rule once. I will next time follow the rules no matter what. This was also my first server rule break and first server on Gmod I have routinely played.

Hello, and thank you for submitting this PK appeal. I’m the individual who made the ticket that led to your PK.

To provide some context: you were near the Landespolizei station during a civil war where everyone was shooting at eachother. At the time, you weren’t displaying any hostility nor were you carrying a weapon, so rather than shooting you down, we opted to arrest you as a less severe response. You were clearly instructed to stop moving and warned that any reckless actions could result in your death.

Despite this, you chose to draw your MP40 and attempt to engage us, which led to you being swiftly gunned down by an Unterfeldwebel from the KG.

Even if you believed the arrest was unwarranted (which, to be clear, it wasn’t), FearRP still applies. In the given situation, there was no reasonable scenario in which the risk you took would be in compliance with FearRP rules.

Please take the time to thoroughly read the server rules and PK guidelines to avoid losing your character to situations like this in the future.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the clip myself, as the KG member who killed you was the one who recorded it. Layheeee should also have the footage and may be able to provide it.

I understand and have read guidelines, I was wondering if it possible to apologize and get a warning and move on from this event.

I did not mean to FearRP and I just want to RP next time properly as this is my only character in this server and hope not to lose it and not play overall as all my time is in that one.

Denied.

A PK is not an administrative punishment like a ban, it's an in character consequence for IC actions.

PK appeals are not accepted simply because you apologise or regret the situation, especially when those actions clearly put you subject to the PK guidelines.

In this case, you admitted to breaking Fear RP by pulling out your gun while you were under gunpoint and were going to get arrested, which directly led to the PK. That alone justifies the outcome.

You also mention that you were trying to ask an OOC question and did not recognise that someone was attempting to initiate RP. However, pausing or disregarding RP whenever it's inconvenient is not acceptable.

If you have an OOC question or need clarification, the correct procedure is to make a ticket in game so staff can assist you.

Furthermore, someone trying to arrest you is not "Fail RP". If you believe a rule is being broken or the situation is improper, you should report it by making a ticket in game and staff will handle it.

You should not escalate the situation by drawing a weapon or refusing to engage in roleplay.

While I also appreciate that you're new to the server, the rules apply equally to all players.

Your time invested in your character and your intent to follow the server rules are noted, but they do not undo the consequnces of the IC actions you decided to take.

This will be approved.

 

Your PK was not a vital aspect of RP, you are being respectful and kind, and you seem willing to learn. As I said, as this was not vital to RP or the server, and as you are of lower rank and the situation was not a vastly important one, the server would not be affected by this, I don't see an issue in giving you a freebie.

 

Coffee is an asshole.
